Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

Ms. Ritsuka leaned back playfully, leaning very close to Ishtar's legs. The originally arrogant goddess also accepted her intimacy as a matter of course, petting and appreciating her like her own cat.

In this heartwarming and smiling peaceful time, only the small crackling sound of the campfire came intermittently like a lullaby.

"Ritsuka, there should be many reasons why you want to save the world, but the main reason should be to save yourself, right?"

"Yes, although there are many other reasons, self-saving is also one of them. After all, no one wants to be destroyed, right?"

Ritsuka was very frank, or rather she had always been like this on this issue and had no intention of hiding anything.

Originally, she was not even a magician, but was recruited by an employee of Chaldea to make up the numbers. As a result, she became Chaldea's only Master by accident and had to step forward.

To be fair, if someone could take her place, Ritsuka might actually hand over her responsibilities to someone else.

Of course, that was her initial thought, but something was different now. If such a person really appeared, she would have to take Ritsuka away first to fulfill her promise to see the sky outside.

Why not give it to Chen Ling?This wouldn't work. He was not from the Chaldean world. He was lucky enough to come to help Chaldea. Even if Lixiang had to leave all the responsibilities to Chen Ling, she would not agree with it.

Furthermore, the best thing about your own world is of course the best to be saved by the people in your own world, right?

Chapter 116

Why did that man want to save the world?

If an outsider were asked this question, they would probably answer it as a matter of course - because he is the legendary savior. Isn't it natural for the savior to save the world?

That's right, for Chen Ling, who has the legend of a savior, saving the world seems to be a matter of course.

However, this answer is just the thinking of ignorant people.No one stipulates that the savior is to save the world. Could it be that saving the world is his only mission?He can do nothing but save the world?

The title of savior originated from the original salvation legend. Before that, Chen Ling was not a well-known savior. Why did he want to save the world?

Some people may ask, if he doesn't save the world, he himself will be killed. In essence, it is still self-saving.

But here comes the problem, Chen Ling is not from the Chaldean world?

Similarly, he is not a person who attacks the world with blood, nor is he a person who wants to fight the world, nor is he a person who travels the world beautifully.

Even so, isn't he still fighting to save the world?

So, back to the original question.

Why did that man want to save the world?

Not only Ereshkigal wanted to know this question, but Ishtar also wanted to know.

Although she has obtained the memory of Miss Tohsaka, she also does not know how to run around the world, and will even run to other worlds to save the world.

Ereshkigal felt that perhaps many women in Chenling did not understand this issue.

However, if it were Ritsuka who was also acting to save the world, he might be able to answer this question.

Although Ritsuka has repeatedly emphasized that her most fundamental problem is to save herself, Ereshkigal also believes that this is just one of the reasons, and there must be other reasons.Perhaps, Ritsuka's other reasons for saving the world are the same as Chen Ling's.

"Actually, many people have asked Chen Ling this question. Of course. I have asked it too."

As soon as these words came out, Ereshkigal couldn't help but become more focused, for fear that he might have missed something.

"Chen Ling said that he only fought to protect the people he liked."

"Fighting for protection?"

"That's right, it's very his style of answer. Many people even feel that it's natural when they hear his answer."

"Indeed, he is definitely the kind of person who can swing his sword at the whole world to protect the people around him. It seems normal for a person with such a consciousness to save the world to protect his own people."

Ereshkigal nodded, but soon asked another question.

"But if that's the case, then why not leave this world? He has the ability to take all of you out of your world, right?"

Hearing this, Li Xiang shook his head and said bluntly, Goddess, you think too simply.

"Take me as an example. The most important people in my heart are Ma Xiu and Chen Ling. They can give everything for me, and so do I. But except for them, everyone in Chaldea is also my partner, Doctor , Da Vinci-chan, and other partners. Not only that, outside of Chaldea, I also have my family, relatives, school friends, etc. "

Everyone has their own network of relationships, or their own bonds, family, friends, partners, and lovers.And those who also have more family and friends... are connected one by one, and the relationship chain formed by the people around them spreads in a radial manner, eventually connecting to the entire world.

"Goddess, you know, there is a 'six degrees of separation' theory for future humans. That is to say, in that era of advanced information, pick six people from the people you know, and then pick six people from these six people. As an individual, you can recognize anyone in the world.”

"That is to say, everyone is connected... right? Therefore, he will not take you to escape to other worlds, because that means he will take countless people away with him."

"Yes, to be honest, even Chen Ling would find it difficult to achieve that level. Furthermore, Chen Ling actually knows that no one would be willing to give up the world they live in unless there are special circumstances. Because This is the world we live in, the world we participate in. So, instead of running away in despair, it is better to save the world."

Ereshkigal paused, then chuckled.

"He is probably the only one who can do this for the person he likes. No wonder you all like him."

"but--"

Ereshkigal looked at Ritsuka, a little confused that she would say something like this at this time. Is there a story behind it?

"His answer was indeed the reason why he saved the world, but as far as I know, that should be one of the reasons."

"Just one of the reasons?"

"Yes, I asked Kotori, well, if you have seen Sister Rin's memories, you should also know that Kotori is from another world."

Ereshkigal nodded to express her understanding. Like Ishtar, she did not respect the privacy of the devotee as much as Parvati. Naturally, she learned most of the memories through Rin's memories.

"Kotori said that in her world, there had been an unprecedented catastrophe. According to subsequent data analysis, if that disaster had successfully occurred, a conservative estimate of 1 million people would have died."

Even Ereshkigal, a god, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this number of people.

After all, the Age of Gods was no better than modern times, and the number of human beings was not too large. Of course, Ereshkigal did not know the total number of humans in the Age of Gods, but she knew that the total number of people in Sumer, whether in the human world or the underworld, was even more than the total number of people. Less than a fraction of the number of people Ritsuka just mentioned.

Ereshkigal was surprised by this, but she did not interrupt Ritsuka because she knew there would be a follow-up.

"But fortunately, at that critical moment, a figure like a knight appeared in front of the catastrophe. It was impossible for anyone to see that figure, but the impact of the catastrophe was a bit big, and that knight The figure was already emitting an extremely dazzling light, so that at the last moment most people in Asia and Europe vaguely saw the knight-like figure."

"They saw it. The figure appeared in front of the catastrophe without hesitation, using unknown power to block the catastrophe on its own. In the end, the catastrophe disappeared, and the knight-like figure also disappeared."

Having said this, Ritsuka paused for a moment before continuing.

"That person is Chen Ling. He paid the price for this with near-death and serious injuries, and because of this, he suffered even worse experiences in the future."

Ereshkigal pondered for a while before continuing.

"This is also to protect the talents he likes..."

"No, according to what Qin Li said, if her judgment is correct, Chen Ling should have just arrived in that world at that time, and just happened to appear near the place where the disaster occurred."

Ereshkigal was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise.

"You mean that Chen Ling at that time was not fighting for the person he liked, because Chen Ling, who had just arrived in that world at that time, did not have anyone he liked in that world?"

"Yes."

"Then why did he..."

"As long as there are people calling for help, as long as there are people in need, I will lend a helping hand."

Ritsuka said this with a smile, and then immediately added.

"Actually, this is my personal opinion. I don't think I am a good person, but if I have the ability and there are people in front of me who need help, I will lend a helping hand. I think Chen Ling should think the same way. "

"When the catastrophe happened, he probably didn't ask for help. After all, according to Qinri, it happened very quickly, and it took almost everyone to react after the catastrophe. However, even if he didn't ask for help, Chen Ling must have He understood that if he didn't take action, many people would die. Therefore, even if no one asked for help, there were actually many people who needed his help. Therefore, he took action, at the cost of serious injury and near death, to prevent the catastrophe. "

"It sounds like a saint, but I know that Chen Ling definitely doesn't think he is a saint. He just did what he wanted to do. He just responded to others' calls for help and help."

Ereshkigal fell into deep thought, this time for a long time. After about a few minutes, she raised her head to look at Ritsuka again.

"Arrogance in a sense, the arrogance of thinking you can save anyone, right?"

"It's a bit excessive. It should be said that I want to save anyone's self-satisfaction. Of course, I also said it. If possible, of course I also want to save the people I want to save within my ability."

After saying that, Ritsuka seemed to be reminded of some memories. Her eyes staring at the bonfire were a little empty, but they became more determined.

At this moment, in the eyes of the goddess, Ritsuka could no longer be judged as just a small human being.

Not only did she understand the man's nature, but she was actually the same kind of person as that man.

Even though you don’t think you are a good person?

Just kidding, you are comparable to saints... No, you are real, flesh and blood saints living in the present!

He is worthy of being the legendary savior, worthy of being the Master who acts to save humanity.Fight to respond to others, fight to protect others, and even fight to save the world!

Compared to them, the goddess herself is not as good as a toe of theirs, both in terms of thought and consciousness.

The goddess pursed her lips several times in succession, feeling her accelerated heartbeat, and spoke with awareness.

"Ritsuka...I-ah chirp~~~!"

"Wow!"

With a super cute sneeze, the smoke from the bonfire was blown by the goddess.

Ritsuka instinctively avoided it, thinking that the goddess could sneeze too, and raised her head in a funny way... and then froze.

"Hmph, hum... eh? What's wrong, Ritsuka? Why are you looking at me like you don't recognize me... I-I was just careless!? I'm sorry, can't you!?"

"Ah, no..."

Looking at the panicked and blushing Ereshkigal in front of her, who suddenly changed into the black evening dress and red cloak that she remembered with a click of a button, Ritsuka answered a little stiffly.

The conversation got so deep that Ritsuka temporarily forgot that the other person was Ereshkigal, and now he was borrowing Ishtar's body to chat with her.However, the fact that the other party changed his clothes with just one click after sneezing really startled her and almost made her attack him.

Don't forget, the goddess of the underworld was still chasing Chen Ling some time ago. It's normal for her to subconsciously want to take action when she sees such an enemy.

On the other side, Ereshkigal, who obviously didn't know that he was completely exposed, sneezed and was probably very shy himself, snorted and folded his hands, and said while playing with his twin ponytails to hide his shame.

"You, I almost understand what you said! You're just a mere human being, but you can't think of so many troublesome things! But, how should I put it... I've also benefited a lot, thank you... .Of course, of course, I will work hard! You have already shouldered too many responsibilities, and as a goddess, I will also work hard! After all, you children are too serious. I will work hard to create a world where You can live in a comfortable environment without working hard, so just leave it to me without any worries!"

"Ha...thank you?"

Ritsuka tilted her head in confusion, completely confused as to why the other party suddenly said these words.

After that, Ritsuka was driven back to sleep by Ereshkigal.

The goddess who takes the initiative to help humans keep vigil at night is so gentle.

Sure enough, the goddess of the underworld is more like Sister Rin than the goddess of Venus.

The next day, people who had camped comfortably all night stretched themselves out and ate local chowder porridge, patted their butts and continued towards their destination, Kuta City, in high spirits.

By the way, Li Xiang didn't tell anyone about last night's events, and she kept peeking at Ishtar, who was back to her usual way of doing things, and didn't see any clues from her attitude.

It seems that Ishtar will not have the memory of when Ereshkigal borrowed her body.

In fact, Li Xiang wanted to talk to Chen Ling about what happened yesterday, but thinking that most of the things they talked about yesterday involved Chen Ling, and thinking about it carefully, it seemed that whether or not they talked about it would not have much impact, so Li Xiang simply didn't mention it. .

Anyway, that's really not a big deal.

However, in the next few days, Ritsuka noticed that Ereshkigal appeared almost every night, but the person she talked to was either Ritsuka herself or Chen Ling. Other than that, she would not talk to Talk to others.

However, when talking to him, the other party will pretend to be Ishtar.When talking to Chen Ling, the other party will pretend to be Sister Lin.

Ritsuka wanted to say to this, you really know how to play, the goddess of the underworld.

There was a lot of chat content, but none of them involved questions like their strategies. They all talked about their past experiences and asked some philosophical questions like why they wanted to save the world as they did on the first day. question.

No matter how you look at or feel about this goddess of the underworld, she really doesn't have any malice or hostility at all.

This situation made Ritsuka suspicious.

Why would such a gentle goddess of the underworld become a pillar of the Three Goddess Alliance and destroy the world together with her?

Chapter 117

When the red storm dissipated and the earthquake it caused eased, what caught the sight of Ritsuka and the others was a huge crater, as if it had been made by a meteorite.

A simple visual inspection showed that the width of this crater was at least more than 1000 meters, and excluding the huge crater, almost all the trees surrounding it for more than ten kilometers were flattened...

"If this were in a city, the entire city would probably be bombed instantly, right?"

"Senior, I guess it's more than that. You know, this is the age of the gods. Even the soil of the earth has absorbed a lot of magic power, and its solidity is not comparable to that of modern times."

Although Ritsuka and Mashu have seen many huge craters caused by light cannons in the past, this is the first time they have seen one at such a close range, and they, Mashu, can feel that this huge crater is the first they have ever seen. Three kind.

The other two are when Chen Ling threw the [Sword of Final Salvation] in Meiyou World, and when the Lion King launched the holy spear injected with divine power.The former seemed to have almost destroyed the entire world, and it was also the result of the aftermath of the bombardment with the enemy.Although the latter was not as exaggerated as the former, it almost surpassed Chen Ling's Holy Sword of Stars. Although Chen Ling's Holy Sword of Stars did not fully open the Thirteen Bindings at that time, the same was true for the other side.Moreover, several inherent barriers were opened on the battlefield at that time to offset the aftermath, otherwise who knows whether the final bombardment would have blown up the already unstable sixth singularity.

Although comparing the above two, the huge crater caused by Gilgamesh's Sword of Deviation does not seem to be too big, but as Mashu said, this place is no better than any other era in the past. This is the Age of Gods, and everything is passive. Or it could be said that it automatically absorbed the magic power and strengthened it a lot.

What's more, did Gilgamesh use all his strength just now?

Activating EA does not mean using all your strength, at least not for Gilgamesh right now.
